Genealogical and Historical Review of the International Cody Family Association

Genealogy Out; New Directory in '69!
Patron Contributors

Book Plus Yearbook
Plans for updating the Cody Fam
ily Directory for publication in 1969
are in the works, following publica
tion of a paper-back edition of the
family's genealogy, previously pub
lished in 1954, Secretary Aldus Cody
has announced.
It is planned to have the new di
rectory ready for the next interna
tional reunion to be held in Cody,
Wyoming, in the early or late sum
mer of 1969.
The 257-page genealogy originally
published by the late Miss Lydia S.
Cody, as chairman of the Cody Fam
ily Historical Board, provides the
key identification numbers useful in
tracing genealogical lines back from
the current directories.
"With the genealogy, the directory
serves a larger purpose than a cata
loging of families with current ad
dresses," Aldus states.
"The 1969 directory will be in the
same format as the 1964 directory
and members are urged to ascertain
that information concerning their
family is complete, accurate, and up-to-
date."
The genealogy sells for $5.00 per
copy; money for the genealogy goes
into a trust fund used for maintain
ing the family's directory publishing
program.

President Evon.
Although the Tucson reunion in
1966 voted to have a reunion every

"We are presently showing about

cases down the middle of the Whit
ney Gallery of Western Art," Frost
told Evon, "and will be continuing
that setup through the summer
of 1968."
